Read this passage from "The Stone": 

Maibon tried now to pound the stone to dust with his heaviest mallet, but he could not so much as knock a chip from it. He put it against his grindstone without so much as scratching it. He set it on his anvil and belabored it with hammer and tongs, all to no avail. 

How does Maibon most likely feel after he "belabored it with hammer and tongs, all to no avail"? 

• upset because he has injured himself with the tools 

• tired because he has worked hard to try to destroy the stone 

• • 
    

    relieved because the stone is still in one piece 

• • 
    

    proud because the magic is stronger than his tools

Read the passage from "The Stone:"

Hearing this, Maibon pulled and pried and chopped away at the log as fast as he could and soon freed the dwarf.

Doli heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his shin, and cocked a red eye at Maibon.

Which tool does Maibon most likely use to free Doli's leg from the log?

• • 
    

    a wrench

• an axe

• • 
    

    a hammer

• • 
    

    a tractor

Read the passage from "The Stone:"

“Oh clever!" Doli retorted. "Oh, brilliant! Great clodhopper! Giant beanpole! Of course I am! What else! Enough gabbling. Get a move on. My leg’s going to sleep.”

Why does Doli call Maibon a "beanpole"?

• because humans are much taller than dwarves

• because humans are foolish with magic

• because humans do not have magical powers

How does Maibon change during the story "The Stone"?

• • He becomes stronger and wiser with producing wheat in his fields.

• • He becomes close with Doli and is granted more wishes.

• He learns how to hide the stone so it does not affect his family.

• He starts to regret the selfish decisions he has made.
